If you’re assuming I’m Amerikkkan you’re right. My fucking aunt claims to be a communist and simultaneously has been convinced purely emotionally (by her own admission) by anti-communist novels to hate actually existing socialism.

I got Solzhenitsyn from family that know and don’t hate that I’m a commie :(.

Fair enough, I don’t think my argument’s solid, I just like to attempt to defend things that get pushback. You’re probably right in general, and maybe they are right in their personal experience which is not representative.

Should’ve pinged ash. I understood that subtext. I am unoffended, but defending you.

I mean I get the generalization that allo polys would be more overtly sexual than allo monos. I could see the weirdness while respecting “ethical sluts.”

Coming to terms with the fact that just because I’m autistic about communism doesn’t mean the average person I get to sympathize will read a fraction of the theory I do.

I just heard about missionaries being forced to be annoying so their converts are fanatical and they get to feel persecuted by everyone else and ingrain that perspective. thinkin-lenin

Yeah, I’m thinking more in terms of the commonalities between mystic, Buddhist, ascetic, and abrahamic paths to union with the universe/realizing its emptiness. They are all grasping at the same reality and human potential in different ways.

Definitely. I’ve also heard about autistic Christians who care a lot more about the actual teachings than most people who claim the religion. There are many draws: the rules for how to live, the answers of “ultimate truth,” the wealth of knowledge to learn from, the ethics and justice, etc. It’s amazing how little regard most people have for existential issues today, and in the past they’d be satisfied with shallow religious answers from local leaders.

Edit: asexuality, being a hermit, extra dmt in the brain, explicit social rules, bottom up and black and white thought, and more are also bonuses. Being a monk sounds awesome. It’s a pity all the NTs who weren’t cut out for it but would fake stuff for free food.

Also discomfort with thoughts, confused identity, need to suppress impulses, focus on internal world, dispassion with senses… forgot to mention how it totally makes sense trans women used to be religious leaders in many cultures.

Fair. I have not gained much from all the parapolitics podcasts I have heard and the remaining ones do not look very relevant.
